Capitol zoning commission gets operating funds

For July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, the law authorizes $257,040 for Capitol Zoning District Commission operations. This includes $176,446 for regular salaries, $938 for extra help, $63,700 for personal-services matching, and $15,956 for operating costs. Another $2,000 comes from commission cash funds in the State Treasury, with payments determined by the state's chief fiscal officer. Neither appropriation funds travel, professional fees, capital purchases, or data processing. Spending must stay within these amounts, follow state purchasing and fiscal-control laws, and match the purposes in budget documents. This money supports agency operations, not direct household payments.

Capitol zoning commission staffing has limits

From July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, the Capitol Zoning District Commission is limited to three regular full-time employees. The authorized jobs are a program manager, an administrative analyst, and a planning and preservation coordinator. The program manager is grade GS07; the other two jobs are grade GS06. The commission can also use one temporary or part-time extra-help worker when needed. Extra-help pay cannot exceed the applicable job-classification rate under state compensation law or this act.
